The jokbal here is delicious, high quality, and surprisingly cheap. We stopped by as we were going to be in the area and got 2 orders of jokbal as we figured a $35 order of jokbal would be one person’s worth. It turns out just one order was enough to fill us both!

Read moreSaw this place come up on Instagram (kangsjokbal) often so I decided to try it out. Its an hour away so it had better be worth it.. Is what I thought but this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT! From the packaging to the after taste everything was worth the time and money spent.
It comes in a sturdy package so I didn't have to worry about it falling apart on my drive back. It came with sides which were also beautifully done.

OVERALL: Go. Go right now...
